Today we welcome two more podcasts — A Branded World and Hockey Feels — into the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB!

A Branded World is a podcast hosted by Luiza Campos, a marketing strategist based in Calgary who offers practical advice and deep expertise from herself and her guests. You'll hear lots of useful tips, told through the stories of entrepreneurs and leaders in Alberta and beyond.

Hockey Feels is, as the name suggests, a podcast about how hockey makes us feel. It offers a deep conversation about all kinds of hockey — NHL, junior, Olympic, international — between Steven Schapansky, an Oilers fan in Edmonton, and Rachel Donner, a Flyers fan in New York.

All of this is possible thanks to our founding sponsor, ATB Financial, and our other sponsors, the Edmonton Community Foundation and Alberta Women Entrepreneurs. You may be interested in a couple of things they're up to:

ATB is a major sponsor of AWE's Learning Day, which is coming up on Feb. 20 in Edmonton. This one-day conference features keynotes and workshops about human resources, operations, financing, marketing, technology, and mindset. You'll meet great people and gain valuable skills. Tickets are $99 before Jan. 19, $129 after. And, if you listen to some of our shows, you'll hear a promo code to get an additional 10 per cent off.

And one more thing: If you've been thinking of starting a podcast, we have a workshop just for you. How to start a podcast: From notion to reality takes place on Jan. 27 at CKUA in Edmonton. You'll get help to refine your idea, determine resources and overcome technical challenges. Join Karen Unland, Steven Schapansky (yes, the same!) and his award-winning podcaster-partner Erika Ensign to get that idea out of your head and into the ears of your listeners.
